A quarter of respondents surveyed in a new study say they’ve orgasmed from being tickled. The research, conducted by scientists at University Medical Center Mainz in Germany, aimed to analyze “how adults use tickling in connection with sexual activity.” The scientists recruited 719 people who professed to have a tickling fetish to see whether they could cum from the act.
The results revealed that a quarter could climax from being tickled—even without the stimulation of their genitals. The scientist and his team say the study results should reframe how we understand human sexuality because they prove that many people experience erotic pleasure through acts that are widely thought of as non-sexual: “The range of experiences that lead to sexual pleasure is much wider than previously recognized,” they said. “Future studies should therefore investigate the mechanisms by which tickling triggers sexual pleasure. Our study results could pave the way for this further research into human sexuality.”
